I Just wrapped the Live to Love film series yesterday. The series was shot in Shanghai China so I started the initial post work while I was there. REDCINE-X transcodes,syncing the works. After a couple weeks my visa was up so I had to leave China, so I finished the rest of the edit, director changes, color and final conform in Hong Kong.

Episode 1 is called “XaioLai” It’s a story about a young boy whose been left by his parents to stay on the farm with his Grandmother, and he desperately try’s to get to his parents in the city. I wanted to show some of the film but it’s headed into distribution through-out China so I am not permitted to show it. Here’s a few snapshots of my final color grades. I tried to stay away from reds and any saturation and give the digital film more of a distressed look and feel, like washed out and muted but with cold color - blues and purple. The real challenge was once I achieved my muted cold look, correcting the exposures for accurate skin tone and complexion.
